Troubled teen Justin Bieber hit death-defying speeds of 136 MPH in his rented Lamborghini just hours before his arrest, according to US reports.
The £150,000 supercar has a built-in GPS tracking system which has apparently recorded Bieber’s speed and location at all times.
According to the map correspondents, Bieber is alleged to have been tracked at 1:23 AM on the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Miami Beach, heading toward the nightclub.
In the document published by TMZ, the singer is accused of hitting an eye-watering 108 MPH and within a minute accelerating to 136 MPH.
Any accident would have led to almost certain death as the vehicle’s handling becomes extra sensitive at such break-neck speeds.
It adds more mystery to the events that unfolded later that evening.
After the pop star spent an hour inside Set nightclub from 2:27 AM he was stopped and cuffed by cops who claim Bieber was drag-racing.
However the GPS speed tracker shows he was cruising at a mere 27 MPH, three miles per hour under the road limit.

It could mean officers were aware of Bieber’s previous alleged speeding and simply waited for an opportunity to pull him over.

Meanwhile, his lawyers are fighting to stop half-naked pictures of the star in a US police station being released to the media.
The images were taken when he was arrested and sources say it exposes “intimate” parts of his body.

“While in custody the defendant was captured on videotape in various states of undress which show intimate personal parts of the defendant’s body.”
One video of him being frisked by Miami police has already been released which his lawyers claim is illegal.
Several media firms have requested footage from the police.
Bieber has pleaded not guilty to drag-racing, driving under the influence and without a valid licence.
He faces trial on March 3, two days after celebrating his 20th birthday.
The troubled star has been seeing Katherine Gazda as well as romancing bad girl Chantel Jeffries.
Justin, 19, and Katherine, 18, were introduced at the end of last year by mutual friend Blake Kelly and the romance quickly blossomed.
Sources said the young couple had even discussed the prospect of having children.
A friend said: “They hit it off straight away and are both really serious about one another.
“But their relationship has been very up and down because she can’t stand the way he has been behaving recently. She is desperately trying to help him through all the scandal and regain his clean-cut image.
“Underneath all the bravado and controversy, Katherine believes he’s a lovely kid with a real heart, she just thinks he is being led astray.”
But the big stumbling block is his relationship with model Chantel, who was with the star on the night he was arrested for drag-racing while allegedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Many of Bieber’s family fear Chantel, 20, who has a criminal record, is a bad influence while Katherine simply wants him to stay away from her.
Our source added: “She is begging him to settle down, but she’s tired of being played off against another girl.”
Katherine posted a string of photographs of Bieber online on her Instagram page.
They included images of the Baby singer asleep.
She added the captions “You’re my angel, who forgot how to fly” and “Some things last forever”.
She deleted them after their latest row last week, but it is understood she hopes to patch things up with Bieber in Atlanta, Georgia, where he is currently in the studio.
